Guadalest

Climbs 193 – Rocktype Limestone – Altitude 600m a.s.l – Faces ?

Crag features
The rocky citadel of Guadalest has always been known for the bouldering available there, but recently the extensive walls have been developed and now the area is well worth a visit with a selection of routes across the grades, on a variety of walls. All the routes are well-bolted sport routes, some are (shortish) multi-pitch offerings, good for an introduction to that style of climbing.

See http://www.rockfax.com/databases/results_crag.html?id=394 for fuller details

There are many new climbs here that have been added over the last few years. It is now a great venue with very easy access. Full details will appear in the 2013 Rockfax, but should you need a topo in the meantime email the crag moderator tom@pcoms.com Tom Phillips - 29/Nov/12

New routes are being checked an added every week - soon I will re-group climbs into the correct butresses and remove incorrect routes, but please add any missing routes or enter notes on any info you think is incorrect. Thanks Tom Phillips - 07/Mar/12

No access issues a great place to go to escape the sun if too hot. Grading is a bit hit and miss and some of the rock is quite friabble.Sector Pyramid seems easy for grades in guide, while Sector Castillo seems hard than guide, though some holds may be missing since guide was written. Very quite only saw two other climbers and we went there two days. krikoman - 12/Oct/09

No access issues, lots of Spanish climbers there when we were (Sunday) great place to go to escape sun if too hot. krikoman - 12/Oct/09

Access issues seem to be OK at the moment, The Spanish chap who has in the past asked people to leave is called "Tubo" and has no right to do so. But if in doubt climb on the Sector Penya Maura (most Easterly section) Tom Phillips - 24/Feb/09

We were also told to leave the crag due to conservation. Apparently not true (you should note the amount of rubbish nearby)its possibly a grudge against rockfax not talking to the locals.cwarby - 10/Nov/07

We were asked to leave this crag (Oct 07) by a Spanish chap who claimed that 'alpinism' was forbidden, due to the presence of rare plants on the crags. Nothing about this in the guidebooks, but he seemed genuine.geckoid - 23/Oct/07
